Explore Opera Paris
If you have only a day in Paris, Opera should be included in your plan. But do not come just for a quick photograph, spend more time for an interior exploration.

Street Eats in Le Marais
If you fancy delicious street foods which comes from all parts of the world, gathering in some hidden squares of Paris, head to Le Marais district. For the first stop, try the Jewist food at rue des Roisiers ( you may have to queue), drop by Pozzetto for an ice cream.
Take a walk at Promenade Plantee
Paris has so many green spaces to stroll. For first timer, Luxembourg garden or the Tuleries. For me, this walkway is more than just a park, it shows some interesting slide of Paris’s life. On the way, you have chance to spot busy streets, secret park where local do sunbath.
The best is to embark on a walk from Bastille Opera and do not finish it ! After 1 hour walk you should stop and find a subway to continue your travel.
Best time : cherry flower season.
Visit Museum of Chocolate
Located by the vibrant area of Republic, Museum of chocolate has so many stories to tell you. They are all about how people discovered chocolate, using them as food or even jewelry or money.
At the end of the visit, you will have real demonstration of making chocolate.
City Panorama at night from Montmartre
If you plan to spend 3 days in Paris, Montmartre is one of the must-sees. During the day time, it is home to a wide array of French cafe shops dotted by a colorful art market where you can have your own portrait drawn on spot or purchase a beautiful painting about Paris.
Yet, the site becomes really photogenic at night with its stunning city panorama. If you seek for a source of romance, head there at 10.00pm when Eiffel towel starts lighting.
Wine and Cheese Tasting
This is a hot trend in Paris since 2017. You may find many wine shops offers tasting courses with cheese and bread.
The best is to combine : a piece of bread, cheese and grape then a good sip of red wine. Along the canal saint Martin is a perfect place to do so.
